A Happy Friday to All!

Are expecting a monster today? Maybe a Changeling? Oh, I have Changelings. I have lots of Changelings...

But none for you, today. Sorry.

Eight Star brought up some interesting points about the Windigo yesterday that I'm attending to at the moment. Stuff having to do with damage and increasing Challenge Ratings.

In between that, I found to my pleasure that I once again have access to FIMfiction.net! Huzzah!

I'll bet you're asking yourself, "Now, why would a devilishly handsome pony like Quill be so happy about being able to once again access FIMfiction.net? Why didn't that suave, debonair stallion tell us he didn't have access in the first place?"

Well, my friend, as it is, I'm starting this post en medias res, or "in the midst of things".

One thing that most ponies don't know about me is that I love reading badfics (whether the badness is intentional or not). I've read the classics, like My Immortal, Doom: The Repercussions of Evil, and My Second Life. I've also recently finished reading Travis Tea's Magnum Opus, Atlanta Nights.

Well, a certain fic was brought to my attention. This fic is called, My Little Unicorn by a mister Dakari King Mykan. It has been reposted on FIMfiction.net, and I took it upon myself to check it out. After reading the first two chapters, I've decided that I couldn't stand it any longer and have decided to read it as Quilliam Bartholomew Inwell III.

After downloading the first five chapters and riffing on them, I lost access to FIMfiction.net. It's related to why I had to leave Everypony for a short time: Lack of access. Well, now that my access has returned, I decided to take a little trip there and download the next few chapters of My Little Unicorn and get back to work.

I would like to post it here, but I'm not sure that it complies with the rules of either the Blog or the Fanfiction section. If anypony could give me a word of advice, I'd appreciate it.

    -applauds use of latin-

    Anyways, I don't know much about any of those fics, nor do I know much about whether that fic complies with the rules. So apologies, I cannot help you there.

    The only thing I'm really not clear on is whether an MST of a fanfiction by another author is acceptable. Da Rules state that a fic cannot be reposted without the origianl author's permission, and I doubt that I'm going to get that anytime soon (The author is a militant anti-brony).

    And I'm not sure if I can post it to my Blog because, well technically, it's fanfiction (since the fic itself is a framing device for a story that's happening outside of the fiction. Get my meaning?)

    I see.

    Well I know MSTs have been done before (you saw the one I am thinking of, I believe), but getting his permission would be the hard part.

    Probably I am not the best pony to talk to about this. You should ask the staff. xD

    You prolly knew that already, tho.

    I checked with the other staff on this, and they don't believe we have a rule about needing permission if you wanted to link the fic. Just make sure it isn't NSFW. If it's a Fimfic rule, then you probably should follow that.

    As far as I know, it's not NSFW. I'm doing a blind reading, so I only know for sure up to chapter 6.

    I'll check out FIMfiction's rules to make sure I'm on the up and up before going any further.

    I noticed you changed the pic that shows up as your "blog avatar". I mean, your profile pic.

    ...the other one was cuter. ::S:

    Of course it was cuter. It featured Twilight Sparkle. :grin:

    But, I drew this one myself, so...

    Yes, yes, of course. I have my profile pic that I drew myself too, and I can't say I haven't seen cuter pics. xD
